摘要:Variations of great Saphenous Vein are clinically important because of its role in varicose veins recurrence andas application as an autograft for coronary angioplasty. The incidence of Great Saphenous Vein duplicationcited in medical literature ranges from 0.97% to 49%. The present case discusses a rare duplicated and meshappearance of Great Saphenous vein and its clinical applications. Great Saphenous Vein and its duplication,both started separately from dorsal venous arch of left foot in a 60 years old male cadaver during routinedissection. They were connected by three venous communications during their course and drained as a singlevein at saphenofemoral junction after uniting at the level of apex of femoral triangle. Thorough understanding ofanatomical variations of great saphenous vein and its tributaries are important ensuring the effective diagnosisand treatment of varicose veins.
